Q How did Holy City Chic come to life?
A I started my blog as a pastime and creative outlet in 2011 when I was a senior in college. As a child, I was always a scrapbooker and loved to journal, so starting my blog was simply a digital form of that.
Q What’s the number one most effective product in your beauty regimen?
A Dry shampoo has to be the most effective product in my arsenal. I’ve tried so many brands, but Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo is my favorite.
Q What is your favorite summer wardrobe item?
A Lightweight dresses are my favorite summer staple. I’m a big fan of Persifor’s Winpenny dress.
Q Do you have a favorite swimsuit designer?
A The sophistication of Marysia swimsuits can’t be matched. I love the Santa Barbara one shoulder top (left).
Q As a mom of two kids under three, what are your favorite kids’ clothing and baby gear lines?
A I prefer sweet smocked details, bubbles, and short john johns. I love Lullaby Set, The Beaufort Bonnet Company, Little English, and Lila & Hayes.
Q You collect local art. Who are your favorite artists?
A Way Way Allen, Rebecca Hoyle, Haley Mathewes (below), Sally King Benedict, and Jordan Connelly.
